IMPORTANT: I mistakenly said you can use Arduino Uno for making a button box. That is INCORRECT Uno will NOT work with this guide. You can only use Arduino Leonardo or Pro Micro.

How to design, build and code your very own button box using arduino! Perfect for flight sims, racing sims or space sims.

This video covers how to build a box using any combination of momentary switches, buttons, rotary encoders and potentiometers. It gives tips on which components to use, how to wire them up and how to write the code to make it all work.

You shouldn't need any previous experience in coding or electronics to follow this video. Just a bit of persistence and time.

If you have questions, feel free to post them in the comments and I'll do my best to help you out.
